Losi 8ight Buggy setup?

Doc, how are the reactions you're getting from the people at the track who run nitro against you?

Glassdoctor,

It sounds like your experiences with the Mamba Maxx/Neu motor combination has been positive. I'm building up a brushless 8ight myself, and I've already acquired a Neu 1512 2.5D to drive it. I like the easy programming ability of the MM, and I feel like it would fit better in the 8ight chassis. Would you recommend it, or should I go with the Quark 125. I'll be running 4s LiPo batteries.

Thanks for your help.

The season hasn't really started here yet. But last year I never heard any serious complaints... only a few good-natured "not fair" comments.... and a lot of those questions like " but how long can you run?" and "what are you going ot do for the main?" Then I get to give them the bad news that I can run the main non-stop on one pack... :005:

Now.... I am a little concerned about what is going to happen this year. Especially if I run it on the ridiculous 18/46 gearing. I can't put into words how stupid my car made the nitros look. :004: I think I will gear back down to 16/46 just to make it look more like a nitro.

But it still comes down to driving and results.... I will have to win before I expect to hear serious complaints. And that won't be easy even with a better car. There are some very good drivers here...

By the time people make a big stink I will be about done racing on Saturdays anyway. I plan to race 1/8 some in May and June but not much after that.
